Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely and reflects what she hears so clients feel understood and can decide the next steps. This approach helps with building self-compassion and clearer communication.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It uses practical exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and build coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT often includes short homework tasks to practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lana will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit those needs. Treatment is collaborative, and approaches can be mixed or adjusted as progress is reviewed.
